They run in the same orbit as U-Roy, Jacob Miller, The Abyssinians, Gregory Isaacs and Wailing Souls, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into George Nooks, The Expanders, Buju Banton, John Holt and Steely & Clevie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
